to be a person

Please select
a vessel holding:

One to five malfunctioning body parts
Twelve jealousies
A void of your own choosing
A favourite snack and favourite bird
An irregular heartbeat
metaphoric or literal

Something you’ll lose
One impossible dream
for each one possible
Zero to ten fingers
In the backpocket
a change of mind and
one fuse for emergencies
and a strong love for at least 
one good thing
